What happened to Walmart $1 per yard fabrics?

I remember just couple of years ago or so... when I enter Walmart, the first thing on my mind was the fabrics on sale.  They would have pile and piles of fabrics that they sale for $1 per yard.  and then one day... the section just disappeared and when I asked a Walmart associate, she said they replaced it with scrapbooking bullcrap.  Seriously... please put it back.  Although they were just remants of fabrics,  i really enjoyed and appreciated it because for once it made me learn how to use my sewing machine and make window curtains and toss pillows.  and now I need to make roman shades but can't afford the high price fabrics.
